COUNSELLING
Seeking support
Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a safe space to pause, reflect, and make sense of our experiences. Counselling offers a confidential, supportive environment where you can explore what’s difficult, confusing or stuck, help you gain perspective, and begin to move towards meaningful change.
We understand that seeking support takes courage. Our aim is to help you feel heard, understood, empowered and met with care. With many years of experience as therapists, we bring depth, steadiness, and warmth to the work. We tailor our approach to each individual, drawing on Julia’s psychodynamic expertise and Louise’s integrative-relational experience. We also offer specialist EMDR therapy, including intensive formats, which is highly effective for processing past trauma and can also help with anxiety, phobias, and other experiences that feel difficult to shift.

Who can counselling help?
Everyone’s life experiences are individual, and so are the reasons people come to counselling. We’ve included some examples below, but this list is by no means exhaustive. You might be:
→ Experiencing anxiety, worry or low mood
→ Feeling overwhelmed by stress, burnout or pressure
→ Struggling with grief, loss or significant life transitions
→ Feeling lost, disconnected or unsure of your identity
→ Navigating relationship difficulties or family challenges
→ Feeling haunted by historical traumatic experiences
→ Battling low self-esteem or self-confidence
→ Keen to explore patterns in behaviour or emotional responses
If any of the above resonate with you, or you’re struggling in a way that’s not covered here, counselling could be a supportive next step.
How we work
→ Weekly sessions (in-person or online)
→ A collaborative, reflective and supportive approach
→ Work that balances understanding the past with living more fully in the present
→ A safe, confidential space to explore what matters most to you
